Israel carried out a series of bombings over the weekend, burning families and children alive in tents and then striking a second displaced persons camp last night.
On this show, we air a short clip from the People’s Conference for Palestine, held in Detroit from Friday, May 24, 2024 to Sunday, May 26, 2024. BreakThrough News has posted livestreams from the conference discussions on YouTube here — check them out!
Then, we spoke with Hesham Jarmakani, an organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement Bay Area. Listeners can follow them for updates on the genocide and on ways to plug into organizing locally by following them on Instagram at @bayareapym. Jarmakanidiscussed the latest “tent massacre” of children and families in tents in Rafah, prompting global outrage after footage of burned bodies and fires spread this weekend, how the ongoing genocide is a continued performance of empire, what impact Ireland and other countries recognizing the Palestinian state today may have, and whether universities conceding to students’ demands are likely to renege on their promises.
Next, Malak Rafla joined us, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, to talk about the 13 students denied access to graduation by Harvard. Educators at Harvard have been organizing with Harvard Faculty for Justice in Palestine.
